HANDSOME MRS. KATE CHASE.

Pen Picture Of tho Lady who Ruled
Washington Society Fifteen Years Ago.
Some days ago an afternoon reception was
given by tho wife and daughters OF Mr. a. b.
Mullett, formerly supervising architect OF
the treasury. Among the ladies receiving
with the hostess was Mrs Kate Chase, as she
now calls herself-the once famous and al
ways beautiful Kitty Chase. 1t was the first
time she had appeared atany social gathering
in Washington for many years, and this
woman, who fifteen years ago ruled WASH

or since, was not personally known TO one.

her daughter Ethel-a slim, indefinite kind Of
q girl, possibly to be pretty. but never to be
as handsome as her mother.
As for Mrs. Kate Chase, her beauty is OF
that noble sort that age cannot wither hor
custom stale. Besides, she Is woman who
has passed through great storms without let
ting them agitate her unduly. She is now
nearly 45 years old, but she looks ten years
younger. She has lost the fret brilliancy OF
her youthful complexion, but she can't help
being superb and distinguished. In the day
Of her power she was intensely feared and ad-
mired. but never inspired or seemed to try
to inspire affection, SO that the animosity
she awakened on the part Of those who saw
her for the first time in many years assisting
at party was of critical kind. No doubt
this suited her quite as well, because pity is
something she always disdained.
She is no longer rich, and inhcrits Chief
Justice Chase's financial liabilities in marked

small competence left by her father, who
lived and died q poor man. Whatever claim
she has upon Canonchet is worth nothing

two gowns with all accessories from Paris
not many years ago, and repent the order
whenever she felt like it, appeared the other
day in the simplest kind Of a black costume
But it was nevertheless elegant and appro-

The Late Mr.. Beecher's Friend.
Rev. Joseph Parker, DID,,
Or LONDON, ENGLAND.

When the late Henry Ward Beecher
and his wife were in London last sum.
mer they were entertained by the Rev.
Joseph Parker, DID,, pastor Of the City
Temple, Holborn Viaduct. The two
eminent men had first met in New
York in 1873, at the session of the Evan
gelical Alliance. An affectionate in
timacy followed, and now Plymouth
Church recognizes the tried loyalty of
Mr.. Beecher's perhaps most cherished
friend, by inviting him to make the
grafton at the memorial meeting to be
held shortly. While on his visit to
Brooklyn, DR.. Parker will occupy the
pulpit of his deceased friend. 1t is
believed that an earnest effort will be
made to secure his services as Mr..
Beecher's successor.
Dr. Parker is somewhat past the
prime OF his years, but is in the best
OF his extraordinary powers as public
teacher. As local preacher in the
Wesleyan Methodist denomination,
when quite young man, he was su-
perior, and became q candidate for the
ministry Of that body-uusuccessfully
however. Later he Joined the Congrega-
tionalists, who gave him passionate.
The church at Banbury, Oxfordshire,
was his first charge, which he soon out
grew, and accepted call to Manches-
ter. In 1869 he went to London as the
minister at Poultry Chapel. When
that structure was removed to make
room for city improvements, the City
Temple was built for DR.. Parker, on
the then new thoroughfare, Holborn
Viaduct. One of the chief features of
its services, is the meeting for men
every Thursday ut noon, which is at
tended 10y many ministers. 1t is said
that DIR. Parker breaches to more
ministers than any divine in the world.
Needless to add, that he leads in the
chief pulpit excellences. His visit
was one of the most notable features of
the Evangelical Alliance meeting Of
1873, and the many friends he made
ct that time will be delighted to see
him and to hear his eloquent voice

A Young Indians Self Torture.

Muzzah, q promising young Sioux Indian,
who is one of Buffalo Bills attractions, re-
ceived word the other morning Of the death
of his brother at Pine Ridge agency, Dakota,
and he began to mourn his loss in true Indian
fashion. He first uttered a prolonged series
Of yells, shrieks and groans that brought all
the police in the neighborhood to the garden
and aroused all the inmates of that extensive
structure who were taking a morning sleep.
They all knew what the matter was and only
the uninitiated in Indian customs gathered
around him to watch the proceedings. AS the
fervor of his grief increased he drew his long
bowie knife from its sheath and began slash
ing his barred breast, arms and legs with it.
While the blood from half dozen wounds
was coursing down his body and forming red
pools at his feet, he sat down and with the
same bloody weapon began whiting out
wooden pins about the thickness and length
of a lead pencil, which he sharpened to a
point. During the time that it took him to
manufacture q half dozen Of these he kept
up the loud, dismal bowling, expanding in
volume as the pain increased and the pools of
blood grew larger
When the skcwers we're ready he caught
the leshy part of one leg between the thumb
and the fingers of the left hand and drove the
wooden pin into the flesh until the pin pro-
truded. He did the Same to each limb, and
also drove pin through either cheek. These
be allowed to remain for two hours, during
which time none dared to speak to him or at
tempt to interfere. Among the Indians it is
on pain of instant death that one Indian
speaks to another who is in mourning" until
after the third day. After the Indian drew
out the pins he rolled himself from head to
foot in his blanket and crawled into one Of
the managers, where he lay all day without
food or drink, moaning and grooming and
occasionally breaking out into wild shrieks as
he thought of his loss. The blood stained
wooden pins were exhibited to many visitors
to the garden, and there were many applica-
lions for them to be kept as mementoes.
